Wyke Farms have been farming in the heart of Somerset for over 150 years.

They’re the UK’s largest independent cheese maker and the first to be completely self-sufficient in electricity. They have three bio-digesters which use waste to generate renewable electricity.

These digesters generate enough electricity to power the entire site, all of Wyke’s cheese-making operations and then some! Good Energy supports this independent renewable electricity generation by buying the excess and adding it to our diverse 100% renewable fuel mix.

The company claims to be 100% ‘Yeoganic’ – going the extra mile to look after land, livestock and environment.

As well as using 100% renewable electricity, Yeo use innovative methods to make sure they stay green. For example, rather than putting harmful chemical fertilisers on their soil, they grow fields of clover.

The flowers grab nitrogen from the air and return it to the soil. The flowers are then cut and the nitrogen-rich soil helps future plants thrive. The clover is fed to the cows so nothing is wasted!

They’re one of the UK’s most well-loved ice cream companies. But as well as their tasty ice cream, like Wyke Farms, Mackie’s are making their very own energy.

This electricity operates their “Sky to Scoop” process – wind and solar provide the power to run the farm; the farm grows the crops to feed the cows, and the cows in turn make the milk to make the ice cream.

The cows can choose when they would like to be milked by the robotic milking system and voluntarily take themselves to the apparatus. What more could a cow want?
